Challenge #45: Summertime [Walking on Sunshine]
This week's challenge came about because dizilla was complaining about how cold it is outside. She was saying that it's 55 degrees where she lives and she just wants it to be WARM already! [Haha, it's been in the 70s and 80s here! :-P]
So, in anticipation of the warmth [and free time] to come, I have decided to do a SUMMER CHALLENGE this week!
Also--don't forget to vote in this week's poll! You have until WEDNESDAY at 6 p.m. EST!!!
WEEK 45: SUMMERTIME [Walking on Sunshine]
BLANK: <
(blank can also be found here.)
IMAGE: Click here.) to see a fruitfulpicture of our favorite heroines!!!!
Sub-Theme: This week's sub-theme is to incorporate LIGHT TEXTURES into your icons. Your icon MUST utilize at least one light texture. Your photograph MUST be a summery scene or reminiscient of summer! Example: The icon I am posting with is a summer icon that uses light texture. ^_^
The rules and guidelines for this type of challenge are as follows:
(1) You may enter up to THREE icons each week, one from each category. More than one icon in given category will result in disqualification.
(2) When giving an overall theme, you must relate your icon to said theme in some way, which is open for interpretation. For example, if the overall, general theme is "use the color pink," then I expect all three icons to utilize some shade of pink. [Further clarification? This week's blanket theme is "Summertime."]
(3) All icons must fit LJ standards--they can be no bigger than 40k or 100x100 pixels. They must be in one of three formats--".gif," ".jpg," or ".png."
*(4)* BLANKS are images that are already 100x100 pixels. You may ONLY work with the blank provided--you cannot include other photographs, find a bigger version of the picture, etc. YOU MUST USE THE BASE PROVIDED.
*(5)* IMAGES are huge pictures that you are given a link to. You can crop the picture anyway that you want, as long as it comes out to 100x100 pixels. You may ONLY work with the image provided--you cannot include other photographs, find a bigger version of the picture, etc. YOU MUST USE THE IMAGE PROVIDED. If you find a version of the picture with higher resolution, comment and let the mod know--we'll up the better version for EVERYONE to use so that it is fair.
*(6)* The SUB-THEME is a theme that is added ON TOP OF the weekly theme. For example, if the theme is the color pink, your Sub-theme might be to use lyrics from the song "Pink" by Aerosmith while STILL using the color pink in your icon. Sub-themes can be anything: Lyrics, structural requirements, etc. The best part about a sub-theme? YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY GRAPHIC THAT MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS. ^_^
(7) When posting, be sure to include the URL from each image in addition to whether or not you would like a banner!! Also, to point out the obvious, icons must be submitted via "img src=" so that we can all see the pretty picture IN ADDITION to the link! :-)
Questions or comments? Please post them below and further clarification will be given!
Icons are due Saturday the 8th at 10 p.m. Canadian time [unless bouncing_chibi wants it earlier/later??
Another Reminder--- Vote in this week's poll NOW if you haven't done so already!!!! Deadline to vote is Wednesday at 6 p.m. EST!
